Greetings fellow Actifit people! I am Iris from Indonesia and this is my -almost- daily entry about my simple life as a working mom, nature lover with a hint of stray cat tendency. My work allows me to travel a lot with flexible hours, so sometimes you will find me in unexpected places during work time.
Like yesterday, I was running late because my alarm somehow didn't ring lol. So I decided to ride my motorbike to work because actually I had an appointment in the morning. Work was pretty slow because it is near Eid long holiday, but also quite demanding due to the same reason, if you know what I mean.
We did our routine as usual, checking the production, had meetings to solve issues, and pushing for last minute shipment. We know that the workers were trying their best, but the fasting month nevertheless affected their performance so we encountered some problems as well. But it is always fun to observe them working while trying to lift up the spirit through joking and encouraging each other.
Since I was late, I had to leave when the workers ended their shift, so the road became so crowded. Being me that had zero patience for traffic jams, I decided to find an alternative route to go home. That's when I got lost deep in the village's street. It took me longer to reach the main road, but that's okay since I found a small portion of the paddy fields with a breathtaking view.
So I decided to park my bike and take a stroll while enjoying the sunset. It calmed my mind and gave me a chance to wind down after all those hectic meetings. There was also a small stream running along the fields so I just followed it until I felt that it was too far from my motorbike.
When I continued my trip, the road was already not so crowded, so I was grateful that I decided to take a detour first. However, I was a little bit hungry from all that walking, so when I spotted a street stall that sells 'pentol', I decided to stop by. Pentol is like a meatball with very little meat and much more flour, we usually eat that with some savory peanut sauce and chilly or tomato sauce. It was tasty, filling, and super cheap. You could get a whole bag of them just for $ 50cent.
However, when I was enjoying my bag of pentol, the rain suddenly falling and I was stranded in front of a convenient store for a long time, until the night fell. I did some writing and finished some of my task until I decided to just went for it unless I want to sleepover in front of the store.
It was pretty late when I arrived home and still raining pretty hard, so I couldn't take my boy for our evening walk. We just spend the time playing at our veranda until bedtime.
What an unexpected day from the very start, but what choice we have except to improvise in any situation. It was tiring of course but honestly I did enjoy the extra time to wander and being lost. What about you guys? Isn't it nice to be lost and stranded sometimes?
